I cannot figure out who I am as a body these days, writes Caryn Mirriam- Goldberg in this powerful, tender and humorous memoir about resiliency and love in the face of cancer. Mirriam- Goldberg braves breast cancer, the breast cancer genetic mutation and the loss of a parent by connecting with an eclectic Midwest community, the land and sky, and a body undergoing vast renovation. Along the way, she swims with stingrays in the Gulf of Mexico, searches for cream puff s for a Pennsylvania funeral, leads a group fi ghting to protect ecologically-essential land in Kansas, and helps students fi nd their own voice in Vermont. In searching for a new definition of the erotic through our awareness of nature, this memoir illuminates how our bodies are our most local address on the earth.

Harry Ducharme is at the end of his rope. Booze and bad decisions have taken him from the A-list of talk radio fame down to a tiny cinder-block station, WWHD, in St. Augustine, Florida. He talks, mostly to himself, from 10 PM to 2 AM. Not sure anybody is listening, reading books and poetry that he likes, not caring if anyone agrees with him, playing golden-oldies from the Sixties, and wondering how he got there. Above all, he s convinced he is not a good man. Then, as a hurricane pounds north Florida, Harry gets a visitor. An old black man who calls himself Peter Prophet, announcing the imminent arrival of a New Child of God. Harry is a bit skeptical. Harry is surrounded by men and women with their own burdens to carry. Captain Jack Tunnel is the morning host, more right-wing than Rush, with a cranky parrot co-host named Jimmy Buffett, but who also has a gentle secret life. Nora James is the mysterious cooking woman who broadcasts from her home kitchen, but whom nobody has ever seen. Harry falls in love with Nora because of her voice and spends his first year in town trying to find her, only to discover that her whereabouts are a communal secret, revealed only to a select few. Carlos Friedmann has the 2 6 AM slot, a fourth-generation Jewish Cuban who cannot speak Spanish, but whose forte is to broadcast fake interviews with Fidel Castro. Harry's role in the New Child s arrival eventually becomes intertwined with politics, Iraq, 9/11, old-time religion, and classic American literature from writers like Flannery O'Connor and Emily Dickinson, as well as the music of Harry Chapin. A good man is always hard to find, but Harry Ducharme finally succeeds as he meets the New Child of God in a final and unforgettable scene of death and redemption.

The deep values of place learned during childhood can extend  to living an enriched, responsible, creative, and authentic  life in adulthood. The lessons in this collection demonstrate  how sense-of-place can serve as a role-model for future  generations, as well as helping us learn how we can best live  in our communities and with the natural world around us.  These concise, informative, and poetic writings by long-time  environmental educator and artist, Dr. Bruce Hopkins, both  inform and charm.

The pieces in this collection form a lament for a way of life mostly gone. The family farm is dead. Did you know? says one character within. E.B. White writes Charlotte s Web today, it takes place in a hog confinement. Imagine Wilbur living in a concentration camp for pigs. Still, these pieces are neither nostalgic nor sentimental. Boys bear burdens heavier than is just they discover truths at too early an age. Woven through-out is the strong, unspoken love between fathers and sons, sons and fathers. But perhaps these pieces, this Possum Trot, form not a lament, but a celebration of life. There is laughter here, the laughter that comes after the funeral, when the family is gathered in the home, the casseroles have been eaten and the boys are playing catch in their church clothes. The men have taken off their jackets and rolled their sleeves, and the women are pouring coffee. Do you remember when...? someone says. They do remember, and they laugh. There are tears in their eyes because one of the family is missing. But those tears are mixed with tears of laughter, because look around you. Here we all are. Still here. Alive and kicking. A Midwest Connections Pick for 2010!
